Alan Shipnuck, the author of an unauthorized Phil Mickelson biography who was removed from a press conference at the LIV Golf Invitational on Thursday, confronted Greg Norman over the incident<\/u> after a video appeared to show him watching as security escorted Shipnuck out. <\/p>\n

Shipnuck took to Twitter on Thursday to reveal that security guards had “physically” removed him from a post-round press conference featuring Mickelson on orders “from their boss.”<\/p>\n

The author questioned who ordered his removal and seemingly pointed to LIV Golf Investments CEO<\/u> Greg Norman as a possibility. <\/p>\n

Shipnuck shared a screenshot shortly after of him asking Norman over text if he was aware that he was “muscled out,” to which Norman replied: “Did not hear. Thanks for letting me know.” <\/p>\n

But after video evidence appeared, Shipnuck sent Norman a followup text of a screenshot showing him standing directly behind him as he was approached by security. <\/p>\n

“You cannot make this s — up! I texted Greg Norman before someone sent me this video – I had no idea he was lurking behind me,” Shipnuck said in a tweet. <\/p>\n

Mickelson has been one of the biggest names to join LIV Golf in the months leading up to its first event in London. He created a firestorm in February when his comments di lui to Shipnuck for the book, “Phil: The Rip-Roaring (and Unauthorized!) Biography of Golf’s Most Colorful Superstar,” were published in excerpts to the Fire Pit Collective.<\/p>\n

His remarks were seen as excusing Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the murder of Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi. LIV Golf is backed by Saudi Arabia’s financial arm.<\/p>\n
